  20. 4th call: ICT-based Solutions for Advancement ofOlderPersons’ Mobility March 31- June 30 2011 Indicative total budget: ~ € 51 M French budget: € 1M ANR € 1M CNSA ~ € 1M funds from EC Paris, 5 May 2011

  21. Rationale The maintenance of mobility is thought to be fundamental to active ageing, allowing older adults to continue to lead dynamic and independent lives.”[1] [1]World Health Organization [WHO], 2007, Global age-friendly cities: A guide. Geneva, Switzerland. Paris, 5 May 2011

  22. Focus of Call-2011-4 The call aims at the development of ICT-based solutions which will help older persons: • To sustain their optimal level of mobility for as long as possible • To enhance their individual sense of confidence, autonomy, competence, security and safety. The Call addresses issues that inherently enable older people’s mobility in terms of moving in the home and/or outside the home. Paris, 5 May 2011

  23. Topics • Orientation and navigation • Assistive Technology Paris, 5 May 2011

  24. Orientation and Navigation Management of information Innovative solutions that address ways to filter out relevant information from various sources. Journey planning Extending the capabilities of existing platforms to cater for particular customer needs. When addressing solutions for enhancing trans-national mobility of older persons, differences in travel and transport (on the local, regional and national level) have to be taken into account. Paris, 5 May 2011

  25. Orientation and Navigation … Cognitive impairments The following solutions are within the scope of the call: • tracking devices with combined messaging/alarm system • detection of being lost and appropriate intervention • travel support with assessment which provide family members and caregivers with on-going real time virtual supervision To increase the mobility of older persons, in addition to providing mobility aids, it is important that they are able to seamlessly use the technology available to them at home and outside of their home. Paris, 5 May 2011

  26. … Orientation and Navigation Physical and cognitive training Solutions which helps people simulate situations that they may encounter while being mobile outside the home are in the scope of the call as long as they are integrated in a mobility-solution. Important: • include feedback elements • beyond normal simulations • enticing elements to increase user acceptance and enhance motivation and confidence Paris, 5 May 2011

  27. Assistive Technology Assistive devices may help people get out of the bed, the bathtub, or simply move around. The combination of assistive devices, e.g. smart walkers, robots, exoskeletons, or canes with localization/positioning elements and personalized services estimating various user-parameters are also welcome. Solutions which enable and sustain the mobility of people with mild and moderate cognitive impairment are within scope, as well as those which integrate in-home assistive technology with mobile technology for seamless usage indoors and outdoors. Paris, 5 May 2011

  28. Guidelines: ethicalaspects Ethical considerations apply: • to the process of implementing the project • to the solutions targeted as results of the project (distributive ethics / justice, equality of access, affordability, etc.) • Informedconsent • Relationships and social networks (new allocation of resources and responsibilities). • Handling of ethical issues depends on national rules of the involved partners • Ethics declaration table in part B template Paris, 5 May 2011

  29. Guidelines: Business Model • At submission of proposals: only the outline of the business model (questions in annexe 7) • Full business model development: integral part of the project (as a part of the business plan) Business model outline should convince that the proposed product/solution has the opportunity to succeed on the market. Paris, 5 May 2011

  30. Project selection steps Centralised electronic submission of proposals in English - June 30th, 2011 • Eligibility check performed for all partners (national and European criteria) – July, 2011 Evaluation of proposals by independent European experts – September, 2011 • Budget optimisation to fund maximum number of projects – Oct-Nov. 2011: • Funding arrangements among national funding agencies • Project reconfiguration Notifying projects of outcome - December, 2011

  34. Solutions thecallaimsat Solutions should be: • innovative • financially sustainable • underpinned by a credible business plan • deliver applied research and development activities Paris, 5 May 2011

  35. General pre-requisits • Solutions should be equipped with simplified, intuitive or personalized interfaces which are adaptable to changing end-users’ abilities and requirements. • Important issues are Inclusive Design and accessibility for older persons. • Solutions should be applicable to more than one context and adaptable to different needs as people grow older. • Existing standards should be used. If standards are not available, they should be developed together with interoperable systems. • Proposed mobility solutions may require an infrastructure. If this is the case, the relevant owners/suppliers should be involved in the projects. Paris, 5 May 2011

  36. Uses ICT to solve real life challenges or to enable new and innovative applications or service concepts Adopts a holistic approach, including the necessary expertise in the consortium. Close to market approach – activities with a “centre of gravity” on development Significant involvement (≥ 50%), of industry and business partners, particularly SMEs. Integrates users and user needs in the development (from the outset of the project) Creates markets by developing solutions which meet the needs and wishes of end-users Includes value chain and business analysis Develops products, solutions or service concepts that can be applied widely in Europe Envisions a realistic pilot as integrated parts of the project Characteristics of AAL projects

  37. Beware of the following common difficulties for successful consortium management: Organisational aspects • Understand national eligibility criteria of all your partners: different partner states can have very different funding rules. Each partner should contact their NCPs to verify their eligibility. • Inquire about delays in funding payments in each of the partner states involved • If possible, ask for a signed declaration of commitment to the project from each partner (to avoid problems between partners and their institution) • Prepare a consortium agreement (http://www.ipr-helpdesk.org) • Check national solvency criteria for your SME partners • Verify funding rates for all partners Before submission • React quickly during the project reconfiguration phase to replace partners if necessary • Sign a consortium agreement • Sign a funding agreement with the national funding agencies • Determine a common start date Start phase of project During project • Share information with all consortium partners • Submit reports on time
